If you’ve followed my blog for any amount of time – you know who Missy is.

And you know she had a baby girl 6 months ago – CAN YOU BELIEVE it’s been SIX months!?

But – she also has this guy – who will be EIGHT this December!

And she has that guy – who is 19! And I’m gonna get that shot of those brothers for as long as I can!

GAH!!! CAN YOU STAND IT!?

Sweet baby girl – words escape me. This baby girl has been prayed for. Waited for. SO MUCH!!

That middle guy – the littlest big brother – he could NOT stop looking at that baby girl!

He said – Danielle. Do you know what!? Grace is BEAUTIFUL. Isn’t she just BEAUTIFUL!?

THOSE FACES!! Missy – I know you know – but LOOK at your CHILDREN!!

SERIOUSLY!!!

HIS BABY SISTER!!!!

HEY BABY GIRL!!

I CAN’T EVEN WITH THAT FACE!! MY FAVORITE!!

GORGEOUS GIRLS!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!

I’ve been taking photos for Jenna for a LONG time! Nearly 10 years I think!!

THIS time she wanted the WHOLE family – the ones that could make it – to join in on a session!!

He did NOT want to be without his momma for a picture – but it’s still so beautiful!!

Jenna and her kiddos!! Her hubby wasn’t able to make the trip home this time but hopefully next time he’ll get in on pictures!

THEY HAVE GROWN TOO MUCH – SOOO MUCH! *E* was just a baby when I started taking their photos!! AND NOW LOOK AT HIM!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!

THE shots she was REALLY looking forward to …

To be honest – I REALLY look forward to these shots too!!

ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!

Their oldest son asked me if I could grab some shots of him doing back flips – um … YES!!

PERFECTION!!

I had a blanket to put down – but asked if they would lie in the grass instead!!

Lori conquered her fear of snakes to do it!

I thought we were DONE after this – but then I got ONE more idea –

SWOON!!!

GORGEOUS!!

Mike & Lori – thank you SO MUCH for making the drive to come see THE hill – God gave us a BEAUTIFUL evening!!

WE MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL!!

GAH!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!! EXACTLY what she was envisioning for their family photos!!

STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!

SWOON!!!

Lori needed some head shots for her business too – PERFECT!!

ONE MORE POST!!!

I remember Mike & Lori from college – or at least I think I do!? I don’t know how else I would have know about them!

She messaged me in the fall talking about scheduling pictures for the spring – BUT – they live two hours from Mansfield – and she REALLY REALLY loved the family sessions at sunset on THE hill!

I messaged her the morning of our session to let her know that the grass was TOO long on THE hill – but I figured out some spots that would work. She REALLY wanted THE hill – so we agreed to reschedule till the hay was cut! I drove by the property trying to figure out something to make it work and IT WAS CUT! I messaged Lori to let her know we could still be on if they wanted!

It was a go!!

BUT – the edges were still PERFECT for our session!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

SWOON!!!

When I showed her those shots on the back of my camera – she said – THIS is why we drove two hours for pictures!!

AREN’T THEY A GORGEOUS FAMILY!?

Stay tuned …

She’s gonna have SO much love & fun & joy!!

She only has eyes for her momma!!

I couldn’t leave the pup out!!

She is fed & warm & safe – living her best life!

This sweet little one has two cousins that she’ll grow up with – and they got dolls to represent them!!

GAH!!! HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!

Kristi & Patrick – thank you so much for asking me to come photograph your precious baby! I am SO happy for you guys!

The SMILE on that puppy!!! She is SO happy to have her humans!

They have a new baby SISTER!!

SHE IS SO ADORABLE!! Look at those arm creases! You guys know how much I LOVE squishy babies – right!?

THOSE CHEEKS!!

Her dad has a sense of humor!

BEAUTIFUL!!

SISTERS!! I can’t get enough!!

Kristi has been waiting a LONG time for this baby girl!!

Stay tuned for the rest of their session!!

THAT LITTLE FACE!!

I LOVE the black & white but I also LOVE the color – so I gave you both – which one do YOU prefer!?

I love that her little eyes are closed – ADORABLE!!

And his little hand over his mouth – and her eyes are closed again – THE BEST!!

DANIELLE – come see our club house! DANIELLE come see my jump! DANIELLE – COME SEE!!

GAH!!! I am so thankful that I have friends with little girls – because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a little girl!!

So – does she have pig-tails or puppy-tails!? I vote pig-tails – what do YOU think!?

EITHER WAY – she’s just the sweetest thing.

MEGAN & SETH – I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!

Megan and I met because I needed a backup photographer for a wedding when I was pregnant with Fitzy!

Turns out – I didn’t need someone else to do the wedding – but Megan and I became friends.

I have a list of women that want to have a baby – grow their family – and Megan asked if I would pray for her.

Fitzy and her oldest are about a year apart and we’ve been good friends ever since!

That’s her oldest – on the right! He used to call Fitzy – Ipsy. And we ALL miss it!!

AND NOW – Megan has two little boys and two little girls – BE STILL MY HEART!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

MEGAN & HER DAUGHTERS!!

LOOK AT THOSE SMILES!!

SO MANY SMILES!!

FISH FACES!!

So many hands to hold her. SO MUCH LOVE!!

SWEET BABY! You are so very very loved!

I ADORE THAT SHOT!!

Michele won the bid for a barden photography gift certificate and wanted to get some family photos before her daughter left for basic training!

Her aunt happened to be home – so we included her!

I LOVE that shot!! THIS IS FAMILY!!

Michele – I hope you LOVE your photos!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support!!
